Sims scored the first touchdown and Auxford Burks added a 95-yard return for a touchdown. Sims also scored the first touchdown of the 30 to 0 victory over Auburn in what was then the largest crowd ever to see a game in Birmingham (4,000) with an 18-yard run. He was selected All-Southern in 1905.

In 1906, Auburn protested he was an illegal player. The protest was heard by the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, but it was denied.
